If you’re planning on staying home for a serious writing session this evening, here’s a little writing prompt to get your creative wheels turning.
You’re a world-renowned, bestselling author of mystery novels living in seclusion. One day, from the writing room located high up in your clifftop manor house, you see a sleek car pulling through the usually closed iron gates and onto your driveway.
The doorbell rings – croaking from lack of use – seven times before you make it to the heavy front door. On the other side is a handsome, well-dressed man of around 40, clutching a briefcase.
‘Is it really you?’ he asks. ‘You’re a very difficult woman to track down…’Who is the man? And why has he been trying to find you? We’d love to read your take on the scenario in the comments!
